My other half wants to go out of the country next year on vacation and I have been looking around and seeing this years prices and thinking my gosh How am I going to be able to swing this and have fun and afford the whole thing. He's counting on using our taxes and I'm hoping that we can earn a little extra cash here and there. Does anyone know of any places that you can earn on the net and that actually do payout?

I'm sure you already know this but I'll put my 2 cents in anyway! lol How about selling something on the craigslist? That should help bring in some revenue for your trip. Depending on your kids ages, you could have them go out in search of cans to turn in for cash. You could have a yard sale to generate some cash.... I'm going to throw a yard sale when it gets warmer in hopes to raise money to help my parents to pay another house payment on their old home but hopefully by then it'll be sold. Gosh! That would be sooooo nice!!

what is that saying one mans trash is another mans treasure. LOL!! But seriously everything I have is so not able to be resold. LOL!!! I might see if I have something but around here yard sales aren't that big especially in the city.

The net's not a good place to look to earn extra money... none of them pay very well, but I do belong to a few sites. I think you'd be better off if you could find a part time job locally, or even a weekend job or something. However, if you don't wish to do that, I find that the publishing sites are pretty good, if you can write good articles which people will read, or some of the traffic exchance sites. If you want more specific details about the ones to which I subscribe, then please send me a PM, or ask me on DD because I can't put them here, for fear of deletion. Brightest Blessings my friend.

Ok... you won't be able to earn so much but a bit of pin money will help. Can't you step up on Mylot a bit for a month or three? I have answered your PM by the way. I hope you find it useful.

Yeah I currently get unemployment and the job market here sucks.. But right now my other half is getting ready to change shifts and I don't want to look for employment and then say I'm sorry I can only work these hours now. It's been one of those things I really don't want to mess up his full time job since we only have one vehicle and he makes decent money there. LOL... I'll send you a pm when I have a sec thanks hun.

it's not there aren't places online to really earn money. of course there are. and they do pay. but if you are going to only your efforts, you will never have the kind of money it is going to take to go on vacation and enjoy it. what you need to do is find a site that pays that you really like. then start shopping that shop around to everyone you know and everyone they know. once you have at least ten people now in your downline and putting in the effort you did, then you will see that you are making money.

I'd suggest you find some things to sell on Ebay. Maybe buy baby clothes from your local thrift shop and re-sell them on Ebay. Just an idea I've been floating for myself lately. Keep it between you and I won't you.

Obviously you've been at MyLot for a while judging by the number of posts you have! Have you tried some of the many different ways to make cash online?? in your case I would definitely recommend paid-to-write sites. If you have expertise in a certain subject or a lot of very specific knowledge in something then write some articles on it and submit it to those sites along with some pictures and maybe even videos and you'll start earning a little extra cash! If you take a look at my blog you'll find a couple different Paid-To-Write Sites that might be of use to you. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Just keep posting and believing and you'll get there! Oo, one more lil piece of advice. Try to cut some of the expenses out of your monthly consumption and put those into a separate savings account. You'll be surprised how much you can save if you just cut down on drinking coffee or eating out! Have a good one!

There are many survey sites out there which can get you little bits towards your way there. Survey Spot, global test market, and greenfield to name a few.
